I am very happy to see the information about Dual Agency. Even though I do not enough knowledge about it but i think dual agency is the worst thing in real estate for consumers. But now I got clear understanding of it. I have heard that it is illegal in some places?

Hi Ed, Thanks so much for your comment. Dual agency is the single worst thing in real estate for consumers (Buyers and Sellers). In our area, undisclosed dual agency is illegal. Disclosed dual agency isn’t much better. I’ve been a Buyer Broker for 15 years and seen many bad things happen with dual agency. Again, thank you for your comments. HomeBuyer Advocate Mike.

Really silly article, it works sometimes, it doesn’t work sometimes. I would be more inclined to never use a broker that has less than 5 to 10 years in the business, it is simply too much information to retain without experience…but that’s just me.

Melanie, Yes everything in my post about dual agency is true and accurate. I’ve been a Buyer Agent since 1996. In my opinion, dual agency is NOT good for anyone sellers or buyers. I hope my post saved you from making a terrible mistake. Take care, HomeBuyer Advocate Mike
